on an even keel

sabineSo far today, I am level. I have a couple half hour breaks in my day, but otherwise am booked solid with meetings from 8-5. Some time slots have multiple meetings, so I have to figure out which is the most important. I'm breathing and remembering the very good reasons I have for keeping this job and doing the best I can at it.
I started crocheting again. I have a couple of dishcloths to bring home. I've also been making coasters and sneaking them into people's offices around here. If someone's not at their desk, I pop a coaster under their coffee mug and don't say anything about it. Random drive-by practical vandalism. Or something like that. To date, only one person's figured out who put the coaster there. And that was awesome and special.
Both kiddo birthdays are over. Ox let Daddy know that he wanted to have a picnic at the park with fries for dinner. He still doesn't have the words to ask for it, but he agreed emphatically to the suggestion and made the signs for please and french fry. I arrived a couple minutes after they got there (stupid traffic leaving work) and Ox waved, babbled, and patted the bench next to him to tell me where to sit. It was a lovely evening and several other families with young kids were enjoying the park. I love our little town.
The Elsa dresses are mostly pinned together. Sewing this much satin, glitter dot, and weird iridescent chiffon-ish stuff is going to be a pain in the patoot, but Emi's super excited. So that's worthwhile.
Big changes are afoot for my role here at the Evil Empire. I'm finally getting some of what I've been asking for. In the short term, it's going to majorly suck and be a hell of a lot of work, but I think the long-term benefits far, far outweigh the transition pain.
Worldcon 2016 is in Kansas City. I really want to go, so planning should probably start...now? Dunno. It's been a very long time since I made it to a con of any type, so I doubt I'm cool enough or connected enough to attend, but I want to. Because BOOKS.
Lunch was delicious and relaxing. Tasty Indian Food and good conversation do that for me. Little things and enjoying life as it happens.
And there's a new Post Modern Jukebox video. And it's fantastic. Yes. Even keel.
